These drawings appeared in full in the Rural New Yorker of Oc- 
tober 3rd, 1885, p. 659. No differences appeared in the fruits that 
we were able to assign with any degree of certainty to the influence 
of the different pollens, hence we have not reproduced the drawings 
here. As it was desirable to save the crossed fruits for planting, the 
flavor was not tested, but in form, size, color, or firmness, we think 
that the influence of the cross-fertilizations, if any, was too slight to 
be discernible. We do not offer the results as conclusive, We have 
made arrangements for repeating the experiments on a more extend- 
ed scale next season. 
We desire to express our thanks to Prof. W. R. Lazenby and Mr. 
W. J. Green, of the Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station, to whom 
we were indebted for potted plants of the Crescent as well as for 
suggestions in carrying out the work. 
Notes on the Raspberry.

fruits, with observations regarding productiveness, In our list of 
raspberries set out in 1882, as follows :

It appears that Palluau, Davison’s Thornless and Highland Hardy 
were earliest; that Gregg and Philadelphia were latest; that Outh- 
bert and Vice President French were longest in bearing; and that 
Caroline, Cuthbert, Early Prolific, Gregg, Mammoth Cluster, ‘Tur- 
ner, Victoria and Yellow Antwerp were most productive.
